The purpose of this study is to measure the home helpers' knowledge about facts on aging and attitude toward the elderly in Korea, and to find out the variables that may influence their attitude. Four hundred and thirty eight home helpers working in a home help agency were given the questionnaire containing the Kyung San Facts on Aging Quiz to measure the level of knowledge about aging and Yoon (1988)'s scale to find the direction of attitude toward the elderly. The results of this study are analyzed as follows: (1) The home helpers' level of knowledge about aging was 59.1%, which was lower than nurses' level (65.0%) and social workers' level (65.3%). And the paid home helpers' level of knowledge about aging was 61.2%, which was significantly different from the unpaid home helpers' level (57.0%). (2) Using 5 points scale, mean of home helpers' attitude toward the elderly was 2.56 (51.2%), which was different from nurses' attitude (40.6%) and social workers' attitude (62.0%). And the paid home helpers' attitude toward the elderly's action (29.9%) was significantly different from the unpaid home helpers' attitude (32.6%). (3) Using multiple regression analysis, the home helpers' levels of knowledge about aging was the most significant predictor to explain the home helpers' attitude toward the elderly. The other variables that are also statistically significant predictors of the home helpers' attitude were sex, voluntary experience for the elderly, age, city size, and personal experience with the elderly. Especially the significant predictors to explain the paid home helpers' attitude were their levels of knowledge about aging and city size. On the other hand, the significant predictors to explain the unpaid home helpers' attitude were sex and age. Based on the research results, implications for practice and future research are discussed, and education methods for making home helpers' attitude toward the elderly more positive are also suggested.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify aging anxiety and influencing factors of middle-aged adults. Methods: Descriptive correlation design was used. Three hundred and three middle-aged adults participated in the study and completed the questionnaires in the period from September 11 to October 15 of 2011. The data was analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$ test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchial multiple regression analysis. Results: Aging anxiety of middle-aged adults was higher than a moderate level. Socio-demographic variables such as age, religion, education, economic level, perceived health status and experience of living with older adults influenced significantly on aging anxiety. In contrast, general self-efficacy, aging knowledge and attitude toward older adults were negatively correlated with aging anxiety. Hierarchial multiple regression analysis incorporating these variables showed an explanation rate of aging anxiety at 21%. And religion, perceived health status, attitude toward older adults, and general self-efficacy were statistically significant among variables that influence on aging anxiety. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that senior preparation programs that can enhance self-efficacy, induce positive attitude on older adults and promote health should be implemented to reduce aging anxiety of middle-aged adults.

본 연구는 주요 목적 달성을 위해 라인댄스와 리듬체조 중심의 신체활동에 참여하고 있는 65세 이상 노인 202명을 대상으로 성숙한 노화태도, 우울 그리고 성공적 노화 설문지를 이용하여 연구를 진행하였다. 연구결과를 제시하면, 첫째, 신체활동 참여 노인들의 성숙한 노화태도가 높을수록 우울은 감소하였다. 둘째, 신체활동 참여 노인들이 성숙한 노화태도를 높게 인식할수록 성공적 노화도 높았다. 셋째, 신체활동 참여 노인들이 우울을 높게 지각할수록 성공적 노화는 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에 근거하면, 노인들이 신체활동에 규칙적으로 참여할 수 있도록 독려하고, 우울에 대한 적극적인 중재를 통해 신체활동 참여노인들이 성공적 노화를 이룰 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 노인의 노화에 대한 태도가 이들의 삶의 만족에 미치는 영향을 확인하고, 이를 매개하는 요인으로써 부모-자녀 간의 결속감의 역할을 확인하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 전국의 노인 2,067명을 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였고, SPSS macro PROCESS v.2.16을 활용하여 다중매개효과를 검증한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인의 노화에 대한 태도는 삶의 만족에 유의미한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 둘째, 노인의 노화태도는 부모-자녀 간의 결속감의 다섯가지 하위차원에 있어 모두 유의미한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 특히 노화에 대하여 부정적인 태도를 가질수록 부모-자녀 간의 결속이 더욱 높아지는 결과를 보이고 있었다. 셋째, 부모-자녀 간 결속의 하위차원들 중 애정적 일치적 기능적 결속이 노인의 노화태도와 삶의 만족간의 관계를 매개하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 중 애정적 결속이 가장 큰 효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 노인의 삶의 만족을 위한 실천적 개입방안을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study was to find out the variables affecting the successful aging of the elderly. To achieve this purpose, a survey was conducted with 388 seniors living in the Jeonbuk area. The data were analyzed using multiple regressions and a path analysis. The major findings were as follows: First, statistically significantly different perception of successful aging was observed according to their marital status. Second, successful aging of the elderly with a spouse was influenced by personal variables, such as their own perception of economic status, gender, education level and physical condition. In contrast, successful aging of the elderly without a spouse was most influenced by social variables, such as family support. Third, the attitude towards aging directly affected successful aging. Various personal and social characteristics indirectly affected successful aging via attitudes towards aging according to the presence of a spouse.

Objectives: It has been found that health promotion interventions are effective to decrease morbidity among older people. The acceptability of interventions are, however, still troublesome for achievement of efficacy of health promotion interventions. The current study examines the effects of age identity and attitude toward aging on the use of health promotion programs among older people. Methods: Data from the Survey of Living Conditions of Korean Older Persons were used. Logistic regression models were tested using a nationally representative sample of 9,461 community-dwelling older individuals who are 65 years old and over. Results: Older individuals who have younger age identity and more negative attitude toward aging were less likely to use health promotion programs, after adjusting the effects of other predisposing, enabling, and need factors such as demographic characteristics and personal health characteristics. Conclusions: Strategies for mitigating the possible effects of age identity and attitude toward aging on the acceptability of health promotion programs are also discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 치매에 대한 인식과 태도가 노화불안에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 노화불안을 줄이고 효과적인 치매예방 및 관리방안 마련을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구대상은 충북 J시에 거주하는 시민 509명을 대상으로 하였으며 치매 인식과 태도가 노화불안에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과 노화불안에 영향을 미치는 요인은 치매 인식이 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 치매 인식이 낮을수록 노화불안이 높아진다는 것을 의미한다. 그러나 치매 태도는 노화불안에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 근거로 정책제언을 하면 첫째, 치매 인식 증진을 위한 체계적인 교육과 교육 프로그램의 개발이 필요하다. 둘째, 치매 인식개선을 위한 홍보 강화가 필요하다. 셋째, 치매 인식 향상을 위한 지역사회 네트워크 구축이 필요하다.

이 연구의 목적은 지역사회 노인들이 자신의 노화에 대해 어떤 태도를 지니고 있는지 파악하고, 개인자원, 사회적 지지, 사회참여를 중심으로 노화에 대한 태도에 영향을 미치는 관련 요인을 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 대전광역시에 소재한 노인복지관, 경로당, 노인회 등의 협조를 받아 유의표집으로 60세 이상 노인 198명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였고 SPSS 22.0을 이용해 기술분석, 상관관계분석, 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 조사대상인 지역사회 노인들은 자신의 노화에 대해 부정적으로 인식하고 있는 편으로 나타났다. 둘째, 노화태도의 유의미한 영향 요인은 개인자원 중에서는 자아존중감이 높을수록, 경제력이 좋을수록 자신의 노화에 대한 태도가 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 사회적 지지 변수 중에는 가족의 정서적 지지만 유의미한 영향 요인으로 밝혀졌는데, 가족의 정서적 지지 정도가 높을수록 노화태도가 긍정적이었다. 넷째, 사회참여를 많이 할수록 자신의 노화에 대한 태도가 긍정적이었다. 다섯째, 모든 독립변수를 포함시킨 모델에서 가족의 정서적 지지와 사회참여 수준의 유의성이 사라져 자아존중감과 경제력만 유의미한 영향 요인이었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 지역사회 노인들의 자신의 노화에 대한 태도에 긍정적 변화를 가져오기 위한 실천적, 정책적 제언을 하였다.
